Great food, Terrific service and fantastic views. You can catch the cable car up, have lunch and walk back. There are two museums a perfumery and the cable car museum up top and a botanic garden

Di and team were absolutely amazing for our daughter and son in-laws wedding would recommend them highly. We had the option of indoor or out door and to be able to have the ceremony and reception in this beautiful space was amazing.
Thank you all for a fantastic wedding.

Great spit at the top of the cable car. If you can get a seat in the deck, the views are wonderful. Great staff. Excellent food.

We stopped in for some quick espressos to enjoy on the patio after exploring around the gardens in the afternoon. Staff was friendly and our drinks didn’t take long. The cafe is adorable with lanterns hanging from the ceiling, and views over the entire Wellington coastline. Great for a sunny afternoon! The outdoor patio is set up with taller bar tables as well as longer wooden tables with benches. We didn’t partake in the food but the menu also looked good! Would recommend checking out for breakfast or brunch, or an afternoon coffee and snack.

Lunch @ Cable Top Eatery.
.
Packed during meal times thanks to its fantastic view of the city from the verenda, Cable Top Eatery is an oasis for those taking in the sights in the area.
.
The Beer Battered Tarakihi Fillet, Lemon, Tartare, Steak Cut Chips (NZD $23) is possibly the lightest lunch meal on their menu.
.
This has fresh fillets of lean tender flaky tarakihi fish, coated in a crisp golden beer batter, crunching lightly to release pleasant mild sweet savoury salty flavour.
.
The medium steak cut potato chips are light and fluffy and crisp, with good starchy salty savoury sweet flavour.
.
A drizzle of lemon juice for a tangy zesty sour note, paired with thick tomato ketchup with vegetal sweet sour flavour, and creamy tartar sauce with milky sour sweet flavour, to complete.
.
Served piled high in a mesh basket, the Kumara Chips With Aioli And Tomato Ketchup (NZD $12) are made from medium cut strips of kumara, the New Zealand variety of sweet potato, of which there are 4 kinds, red, orange, purple, and gold.
.
With a crisp exterior and fluffy interior, the kumara chips have enticing vegetal earthy sweet starchy flavour. Paired with thick tomato ketchup with vegetal sweet sour flavour, and a creamy aioli with milky savoury sweet notes.
.
The Chocolate Afghan Biscuit (NZD $5) is a decadent snack. The biscuit itself has a soft sticky dense texture, while the topping of chocolate icing is creamy thick, contrasted by the crunch of walnut pieces on top.
.
Has a chocolately sweet nutty flavour. A bit too much for my palate though, it's a really rich dessert.

Outstanding food, service and views! We came straight up to the cafe after arriving in Wellington early on a Saturday morning and were in for a treat. The team were lovely and the breakfasts delicious. Hubby got the big brekkie, and I got The Bene. This has actual ham off the bone, the most divine parmesan and rosemary hash, poached eggs, and the best hollandaise sauce I have EVER tasted! Highly recommended.

So good! We're a vegetarian family of 6 (parents, toddler, three school kids) & we found plenty on the menu for us all to enjoy. Food was very nice & well-presented and the service fairly quick despite it being a busy day. Awesome views & easy to keep busy little people entertained with a quick stroll outdoors while we waited for food to arrive which is a huge plus!
